Larry needs to score 33 points in the last game to have an average of 25 PPG.

To find the answer, we can solve the equation:

\frac{(4)23+p}{5}=25

<em />(where <em>p</em> is how many points he needs to score in the last game)

To find the mean of a group of numbers, you add them all up and divide the total by the number of numbers there are. Since Larry averaged 23 PPG in 4 games, we can multiply 23 by 4 to get the total of the first 4 games from the data. Then, we find <em>p</em>, which we will add to get our final total. Then, you divide by the 5 games.

\frac{(4)23+p}{5}=25
\frac{92+p}{5}=25
{92+p}=125
p=33

First, I simplified 4 x 23 to get 92. Then, I multiplied each side by 5 to get rid of the denominator. Finally, I subtracted 92 from each side to isolate <em>p</em>, and found that <em>p</em> = 33.

Answer:

Multiply 5 by 25 to find the total points Larry needs to score in 5 games. 5 x 25 = 125. Then find the total points Larry scored in the first 4 games. 4 x 23 = 92. Subtract to find the number of points Larry needs to score in the fifth game. 125 – 92 = 33 points. Larry needs to score 33 points in the last game.

Ahat [919]

Answer: $58,088.57

Step-by-step explanation:

The investment is compounded weekly so you need to change the parameters of the equation to a weekly figure:

Interest rate is yearly so:

= 3.75%/52

= 3.75/52% per week

Number of periods is 4 years so:

= 4 * 52

= 208 weeks

Future value in 4 years is:

= 50,000 * ( 1 + 3.75/52%)²⁰⁸

= $58,088.57

In Triangle ABC shown below, side AB is 6 and side AC is 4.
Amanda [17]

Answer: A is the correct option.Segment AD is 3 and segment AE is 2.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A triangle ABC  where AC=4 and AB=6

then to prove segment DE is parallel to segment BC and half its length.

the length of AD and AE must divide AC and AB respectively to get the same ratio of 2:1

To apply converse of basic proportionality theorem.

If we take first option Segment AD is 3 and segment AE is 2 then

\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{6}{3}=\frac{2}{1},\frac{AC}{AE}=\frac{4}{2}=\frac{2}{1}\\\Rightarrow\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{AC}{AE}

Therefore by converse of basic proportionality theorem

DE is parallel to segment BC and half its length.

Therefore A is correct option.

It is given that Three basketball teams measured the height of each player on their team.

Team  Mean height (cm) MAD (cm)

Bulldogs  165                          6.9

Panthers  177                          7.1

Warriors  176                        4.8

From the information given, The heights of the Bulldogs’ players vary more than do the Warriors’ heights and The heights of the Panthers’ players and those of the Warriors vary about the same amount.

Therefore, option A and d are the correct statements about the data given.
